Striving for a better quality of life through consistent training and nutrition

A showdown of titanic proportions is developing in Archemi. Kingdoms are falling like dominoes to the self-styled Emperor of Nothing and his swelling armies. Hector Park and his Queen dragon Karalti stand in their way. Linked by an unbreakable bond, they are the Paragons, heroes who are destined to overcome the dark forces mustering on the horizon, or die trying.

After kicking an unholy amount of undead ass, Hector and his dragon have new goal: to revive the war-torn province of Myzsno, preferably before their nemesis arrives with his army and a legion of Drachan, demonic dragons that would make even H. P. Lovecraft scream in terror.

Bound for Distant Seas begins sailing author James Baldwin's epic tale of his second circumnavigation. His story is seasoned by his adventures during his first circumnavigation in 1984-86 as told in Across Islands and Oceans.

In the first passage James Baldwin reads with passion about the suicide of a young black man in despair. The second passage takes place at his funeral service, where Baldwin speaks with both anger and eloquence, in the voice of the minister attempting to comfort his friends and family.

Na nota introdutória deste volume, James Baldwin, aos 31 anos, se dá conta do momento mais importante de sua formação, quando se viu obrigado a perceber que a linha do seu passado não levava à Europa, e sim à África. Foi então que ele se deparou com uma revelação chocante: Shakespeare, Bach e Rembrandt não eram criações "realmente minhas, não abrigavam minha história; seria inútil procurar nelas algum reflexo de mim. Eu era um intruso; aquele legado não era meu".

La definizione di saggio per le opere non narrative di Baldwin è certamente impropria. Baldwin è un artista, prima di essere un intellettuale, e il suo appassionante confronto con la realtà americana è opera di uno scrittore. Fanno da legame le immagini, le intuizioni, le facce e la sequenza di emozioni e impressioni, piuttosto che l’organizzazione delle idee, perché Baldwin è sempre più impegnato, nei saggi come nei romanzi, a raccontare una storia. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1963, La prossima volta il fuoco di James Baldwin colpisce dritto al cuore della cosiddetta “questione nera”.
